Note: At the end of the semester, students who qualify for the worst-quiz drop will have their final quiz totals computed by adding their un-dropped scores together, then multiplying by n/(n-1) where n is the number of quizzes eventually given. There is no point doing this computation before the last day of class since until then you will not know n, the grade scales for future quizzes, or whether you will qualify for the quiz-drop.
